FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is water-repellent, designed to protect against light rain and spray. For heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
What material is the jacket made of?
The outer fabric is 100% polyester, and the lining is also 100% polyester. The ribbing is made from lightweight materials.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the sizing guide and choose the size that best matches your measurements. The jacket has a normal fitting with adjustable straps for a customized fit.
Can I use a fabric softener when washing?
No, it is advised not to use fabric softener, as it can negatively impact the jacket's performance and feel. It's also recommended to remove the jacket promptly after washing.
What does 'PFC-free' mean?
PFC-free indicates that the jacket has been manufactured without the use of perfluorinated chemicals, which are often used in waterproofing treatments but can be harmful to the environment.
How often should I reapply water repellency treatment?
Reapplication depends on usage and washing frequency. If you notice water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric, it's a good time to consider reapplying a DWR treatment.
What is the weight of the jacket?
The jacket weighs approximately 400.0 grams.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff after washing
Avoid using fabric softener, as this can affect the fabric's feel. Ensure the jacket is dried on a low tumble dry setting.
Water is not repelling effectively
The water-repellent finish may diminish over time. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel.
Color appears faded
Some fading on bright colors is normal, especially after multiple washes. Wash dark colors separately to prevent color transfer.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently try to move it back and forth. If persistent, a small amount of wax can help lubricate it.
